Sorry to hear about this fellers and ladies, good luck and God speed. I have several great friends over there, and my prayers are with them and the AA family.
I have watched in disbelief as a loyal passenger, AAdvantage member and a hometown fan as this great company has had numerous missteps in the past decade. I can only say that most (with few exceptions in the past few years) of the frontline employees have been amazing and very helpful, courteous and hardworking. It really is upsetting to know that the roller coaster ride my good friends have had to deal with in this last round of CBA negotiations was all just wasted time, as it appears the company was negotiating only for PR, and not in good faith. As a free market, Austrian economist believer, it breaks my heart to see bad management, cronyism and a total lack of vision and dedication ruin the lives of so many. My hope is that emerging from BK, you ALL have a shared vision going forward, and return to your former glory.
Again, my thoughts and prayers for all involved.
